GREAT SHOE EXCEPT FEET SMELL IN THESE....

PostedJuly 25, 2012
What age(s) are your children? 4, 5, 2
These shoes are super comfortable for my 5 year old to wear... of course he wants them without socks for summer. However, the material of these shoes seems to trap the sweat in...and boy do his feet SMELL. I have never had this type of problem with a shoe before. His feet don't smell when he wears his regular running shoes.
The shoes hold up well though...I threw them into the washing machine and dryer to see if that fixed the smell issue...no harm to the shoes.... but by day two they were smelly again.....now I am spraying them with Lysol every day, which starts the day off fresh, but by the end of the day it is back to being smelly.
Width on these: We purchased the wide width, which is fine barefoot, but he claims they are too tight if he wears them with socks.
Recommendation to parents: get these in a size to wear with lightweight ankle socks.

Lining comes out

PostedJuly 7, 2012
What age(s) are your children? 7, 9
I bought a pair of these for my 7year old. The lining of the shoe kept coming out from both new shoes unattached and underneath the lining was all the stitching and etc. My son got very upset. I had to glue it back. I read other reviews of other shoes at stride rite that complained of the same issue. For this price $39.99 and higher, I believe the quality should be greater. Hope this review helps.

Durable and Cute

What age(s) are your children? 4, 2
My son always runs; in opened toed sandals, his feet would slide out the front and he would trip. Because of this I was forced to find closed toe shoes. We gave these a try and loved them so much that this is our third summer buying the Kyle. Last year we bought them in blue and brown. They were the only shoes he needed for the entire summer. We ran them through the washing machine at least ten times (due to potty accidents) and they still look brand new. i highly recommend these shoes. A little pricy but worth it. I plan to buy the pink for my daughter this summer.

My 3-year-old boy loves his new shoes! I measured his feet according to the website, and the first pair ended up being a little big. Great customer service, was able to re-order and received the 2nd pair quickly.

I have been purchasing Stride Rite Kyle sandals for both of my boys for the last several summers. The boys are very active, and these shoes keep up with them. I will be sad when the boys feet are too large to purchase these!

AWESOME shoes!

PostedSeptember 8, 2011
What age(s) are your children? 5
I am a long-time Stride Rite fan because my twin boys have had wide feet since birth. These are some of my favorite shoes yet. My boys needed shoes for school that didn't have blinkers and I wanted the shoes to be well-ventilated because my boys' feet can be very sweaty, especially in warm weather. The boys have worn these shoes every day since I bought them a month or so ago and they love them! I have to force the boys to take them off to "save them" for school. The shoes can be worn with or without socks, so since we live in the South, these will be year-round shoes for us, without a doubt. They are well-made, as usual, and the colors are such that I haven't had to wash them so far. Terrific shoes - I highly recommend!

the BEST sandal ever!

PostedSeptember 2, 2011
What age(s) are your children? 4, 0-1, 10+
This will be our 3rd year ordering these sandals. Our son will be 5 in October and he has wide, flat feet. We live in a tropical climate which allows him to wear these sandals 7 months out of the year. They are the absolute best "go-to" shoe in the summer. They go well with "going out" clothes because they don't look like traditional sandals, yet are light, airy and very comfortable. He doesn't look for any other shoe when we tell him to go and get some shoes on. They are incredibly well made and LAST. Stride Rite shoes are worth EVERY penny!!! These will be the only shoes that your child outgrows before they wear out!! I've tried buying the store brand shoes from Target or Walmart thinking I'd buy those for him to take to pre-school and destroy, but I end up buying 3 or 4 pairs for the school year and with Stride Rite...I only have to buy 1 pair of shoes (unless his feet grow). DO NOT size based on the size of the other brands of shoes you have, you really need to download and print out the sizing chart they provide on line for an accurate fit.

I'm very pleased with this purchase, my little one got wide feet and it's really difficult to find a comfortable pair of shoes for him that fits the width and the length but this Kyle is really good, still got some extra room for his toes but not that makes him feel like a duck.

Perfect summer shoe

PostedAugust 5, 2011
What age(s) are your children? 4, 2
I am begging Stride Rite to have this shoe available next year as well. My two year old son has a triple wide foot and these shoes in the wide were perfect for him. He got tons of compliments and he never wanted to take them off. They have been sooo easy to clean after he played in the mud.They keep his feet from getting too hot and the sole was sturdy yet still flexible.

These are great for little boys. My son seems to stub toes all the time in other open sandals and these don't allow that. They breathe well and are comfortable.

falling apart

PostedJune 28, 2011
What age(s) are your children? 2, 10+
I purchased these shoes on 5/11/11. I thought they were perfect for the summer and had hoped they would last the entire season. I was disappointed to find the inside padding piece had come out of both shoes. I was able to put one of the padding pieces back in the shoe but was not able to find the other one. So in one shoe his foot doesn't have any padding and the other shoe the padding is loose. The rest of the shoe has held up well but after only a month and a half the padding shouldn't of come out so easily. I spent a little more than I normally would on these shoes because I thought they would last.....

I let my grandson, age 4, pick out this shoe while in the store. At first he did not like it. But after he put it on, he was very happy with it. I let him wear them to summer school today, he was so excited and started running through the house. It's a great shoe and very airy.

We love these because the mesh protects our little guy from ant bites when we are at my parents in the country, but they also allow his feet to breathe. They have the same soft sole that Stride Rite is known for and allow our toddler to move around easily.

I am going to order my son's third pair of this particular shoe. The sole is so well made. He has other shoes, but these are the most durable for the park, lakes and preschool. It keeps his feet cool and toes protected. Love these shoes.

3rd year of these Sandals

PostedJune 18, 2011
What age(s) are your children? 3, 0-1
My son learned how to walk in these sandals back in 2009, we purchased another pair last year and he's on his 3rd pair this summer. He's in full-time daycare and spends a lot of time outdoors on the daycare playground, these sandals have held up to anything and everything thrown at them. We generally pull them out in mid/late May and he wears them right through until the end of September. They are the only shoes he's in all summer long, and by September they're still in great shape and I've been able to hand each previous pair down to a friend for her son.
His daycare teachers have commented that they are the greatest shoes because of the covered toes - no issues when he's trying to stop his trike with his feet on the hot asphalt!
Love these sandals and will be buying them for years to come for our youngest son once he can walk. Haven't found anything that beats these!

Runs 1/2 size big...

PostedMay 16, 2011
What age(s) are your children? 4
Since I ordered these online & they run 1/2 size too big, I had to exchange these for a 1/2 size down @ the local store. Luckily, they had the size I needed in stock. My son loves these shoes, super comfy & they look great. This is the first time I've experienced a Stride Rite shoe running a 1/2 size big & I've been buying Stride Rite shoes for the past 3 years.
